If you've bought ANY Berg stuff you'll know what that means, and the chip is a "Copyrighted" chip made outside of the Us and there is only one person making it. The berg rockers alone are $450.00+ There is a small amount of machining that needs to be done to them along with the pushrods being cut to length, $50.00 (for the set of push rods). Shipping ect on the chips cost a bit along with the price of the chip. To be honest with you I DON'T by any means make a "Killing" on a"KIT". I will do ok if I sell the kits 10 at a time and I can do a production Type of run on the machining so that less time is spent tooling up. I like to think that I just about bend over backwards for anyone that deal with. I've extended credit to people, sent them parts just to TEST their problem, spent hours on the phone with different "Listmembers" helping them to get to the bottom of their peticular Vanagon problem. I'm still NOT sure how I feel about the Possible implication of, "Who's Zoomin Who?" But that's besides the point. Those of you who have and do deal with me know that I give 100% and will go the extra mile to ensure you get the parts/info you need when YOU need it. Any comments welcome here since we're all jumping in. I'm trying to give those of you who have been "Complaining" about the "Lack of Power" in your vanagon a solution and I get more Negative input than anything. I'm working on getting the info onto my web site so that all of you who want to see the dyno sheet can. Kyle
